Give me a "B"! Give me an "icycle"! What does that spell?!

Guess where we (Megan, Alyson, Erika, and Colin)are? DC!!! After a looonnngg day of traveling from Jersey and a long week of packing potentially useless stuff, we are finally here! Somehow the trip took over 10 hours for some of us. However, there were lots of great times:

10. Erika forgetting how to tell time ("fourteen o'clock...").
9. Erika and Alyson going on a wild bathroom chase.
8. Learning how to count to 10 in Swahili and already forgetting.
7. Megan using her spy skills to track down a Dunkin Donuts to satisfy her Coffee Coolatta craving.
6. Alyson having a 2 hour staring contest with a baby.
5. Seeing the beautiful fireworks at our nation's capital, with a giant tree blocking the entire thing.
4. Megan making funny noises at a baby for 2 hours.
3. The pizza guy finding us at our bus stop and checking in on how our pizza was.
2. Colin throwing a pizza across an EXTREMELY crowded bus.
1. Colin hitting his head on a trash can.

So sorry about the blogging that is only funny to us, but its pretty late and its been a very long day. Even though we are very sleepy, we are also sooo excited to leave for Uganda tomorrow! Erika is anxious, Megan is eager, Colin is fluffy, and Alyson is typing the wrong words rather aggressively. On a serious note, we truly are looking forward to the next couple of weeks and finally reaching the destination that we have long been preparing for. Now its time for a few hours of sleep before that 15 hour plane ride, a visit to Ethiopia, and Snakes on a Plane Sudoku.

Good night BAPers!
